Coming along nicely Andy, the missing track guards add a bit of interest.

Just done a catchup on your build. Ecellent.
The Zimmerit looks really good despite the calls for the real item....
Plenty of other work has gone on and the build is really taking off.
The report about a KT being found - forget it, it was one of those YT morons who found that someone had discovered a tank in a river, and then went off to dream about finding a KT just up the river from where this other tank had been found... I sent him an email congratulating him on his speculation and wondered if he could speculate a brain for himself.

This week I've mainly been doing camo...

....

... don't ever let it be said that I don't get the max out of stuff!!.... using old bits of camo masks,white tac and Tamiya tape.Then,after that,I decided to do the camo blotchy stuff, not sure if it's accurate,but to my thinking,it wouldn't have been "uniform",so I used a bit of license..




... all looks a bit stark at the moment,but after a gloss coat, wash,and the obvious weathering,it should tie together nicely... well, that's the plan anyway!!
I'll address all of your previous kind comments tomorrow, but cheers for now.

Great looking camo. A perfect base for the next stages.

Thanks Jim,now I look at the pics though,I think I might have to doctor some of the blotches,as they look a little too large and round to me.... especially the yellow ones?!!:thinking:

Oh Mr. Smiff,

I thought we have had the discussion about you posting pics of yourself on here, especially after a hard time at the spray booth...I know it is nerve wracking, but Andy, the Tigger is looking really nice in her coat of paint!!! Respect my friend and using recycled masking material makes it even better. Your blotchy stuff is better known as the ambush scheme utilizing the same 3 colors as used in the camo. I realize you used your artistic license on it, as it's your model. Normally it was applied a bit differently. Brown and green dots on the dk yellow and dk yellow dots on the green and brown. No biggie Buddy, as she looks good all the same!!!...

Prost
Allen

I’ve got to say that looks fab Andy, I bet you’re pleased with that!

Once you get Into the weathering it’ll look even better….top job mate

[Mini Me]

Wow Mr. Smiff!!.big changes since I last looked in. Keep it coming Sir! :thumb2:

[Andy T]

Cracking job with the camo Andy.

[The Smythe Meister]

Thanks very much guys...
... but I looked again at those pics,and decided it looked FAR too cartoony,in my opinion the dashes/blotches just made it all a bit of a joke:flushed:....
.... therefore,I've spent about 3 hours tonight,not only "slimming down" the said blotches,but also lessening them:thumb2:, it seemed to me that it was all a bit too busy with too large BLOBS ,!!:flushed:..
So,here we have the "slimmed down" version, although the pics ain't great..


Not sure why the same pic looks so different.. but I hope you agree that it so much better than the previous scheme?!!:thinking::thumb2:
I have started tother side,but it's taking a while.... and then of course,I have to tie it all together... don't be put off by the slurred paint, it'll be sorted soon:hugging-face:,
Basically I've spent all evening going backwards... but I just wasn't happy how it looked!!:sad-face:.

Does look better Andy. First shot is overexposed, by the way….labels on the containers are completely blown, making them unreadable. Was it a flash shot?
